Celtic vs Rangers: Tensions Rise Over Fan Access and Police Actions

The upcoming Celtic vs Rangers match has stirred significant controversy over fan access and police handling. SLO (Supporter Liaison Officer) issued a statement addressing fans who were denied entry to the previous Celtic vs Rangers game, highlighting ongoing issues with ticketing and security measures. This follows reports from the Green Brigade, a prominent Celtic fan group, who are seeking legal advice after what they describe as a 'premeditated attack' at Celtic Park.

Adding to the tension, Police Scotland announced the authorization of additional powers for the upcoming match on Sunday, 16 March 2025, aiming to maintain order. The situation escalated further when fans were reportedly 'kettled' by police on London Road, prompting an official statement from Celtic regarding their presence and support for their fans amidst these challenging circumstances. The series of events underscores the heightened emotions and logistical challenges surrounding this high-stakes fixture.
